Oh good. I'm back.

Some nice New Years Panoramas.
This really is quite amazing. Lilly!
Monopoly. The movie. No kidding. Directed by Ridley Scott.
Hey, Jet Li and Jackie Chan are making a movie together.
Hey, look. Hellboy 2.
What you need is a Brazillian name. You know, in case you ever accidentally become a soccer star.

We're going to West Virginia For Christmas. Wish us luck!

OMG. Real Genius sequel. I'm both happy and sad...
I had no interest, really, in seeing The Kingdom. But here's the first four minutes of it. A neat little lesson in Middle East Conflict plays behind the credits. Worth the watch.
Hooray! Blood Bowl Video Game!
Since we're road tripping soon, here's a handy guide for packing a bag.
Sometimes Cracked.Com writes a pretty good article.
15 Awesome things you didn't know existed. I totally want that toaster.
This is weird. The Beatles sing Stairway to Heaven.
Oh, look. The Hobbit. Bet no one will make a big deal out of this...
Binocular Soccer. This is actually pretty good.
Soulvaki Tetris. I had to post at least one game, right? Be warned. It's loud. Or my headphones are.
Speaking of Tetris. This is awesome.
Oh. My. God. Look at this. It's a Dragonlance trailer. Why does it suck? Because, I mean, just look at it. It sucks right? It's not going to stop sucking just because you're not looking. It's lurking there, sucking, even when you're not paying attention to it. And they stuck the D&D logo on it. Why does everything that has the Dungeons and Dragons trademark attached to it have to suck? Why?

COMMENTS PEOPLE!

Ok, there's more warhammery goodness quotes over there. Check em out.

Mass Attack is pretty cool.
And you can waste a good hour or so with the R2D2 translator.
And there's more Narnia movies coming.
And finally, this made me laugh. Lego Indiana Jones. You gotta watch it all the way to the end for the surprise twist!

Oh, and somebody leave me a comment. I don't care what it is or if it's anonymous or what, it's just nice to know somebody is reading this thing. Not that I'd stop posting if no one was, I'm just saying.

Good Stuff, Gimme the Good Stuff

Ok, for those of you starving for more quote-y goodness, we've started playing again.
And this is awesome: Steam Trek.
Want to know what the cat does all day while you're at work? Here's the truth!
New Stephen Chow movie: CJ7.
Seriously? This is the new KITT? Um...go new Knight Rider movie? I guess?
Is this a sequel to this? (Looks like it's not, but it should be. They should at least be in a box set together. Oh, well Kayla will like it, it has Steven Strait in it.)
Apparently Batman is now going to be John Conner and fight the Terminator.
Oooh, neato jellyfish thingy. I want one.
Many of you who know me know that I love John Carpenter Movies. One of my favorites is "The Thing". Most people know it was based on an older movie. Most people don't know it was also based on this story, written in 1938, which is now completely online for free.

OK, that's it for now. Go read the Thing.

Giggity-Games.

Well, I promised I'd go through these games, so here they are. There's lots of them.

Distance Games:
Monkey Kickoff How far can the monkey kick?
Drop Kick the Faint Punk rocker kicks a dude to see how far out of the club he can get him.
Space Hamsters Try to get the hamsters to fly.
Kitten Cannon How far will the kitty go?

Puzzle Games:
Puzzle Inlay Blame my wife for this one. She found it.
Theseus and the Minotaur A logic puzzle game. Try to escape the maze.
You Don't Know Jack The Classic trivia game.

Action Games:
Matrix Rampage 2 Actiony jumping game. Kind of reminds me of Elevator Action.
Zebedee Numchuck Race to the top!
Press the Spacebar No, seriously, that's all you do.
Crypt Raider This game and the two that follow it are all similar. They're like Boulder Dash, if you remember that.
Acno More boulderdashy goodness.
Aqua-Energizer Again with the Boulderdash.
Avoision I really like this one. Keep the ball away from the marauding bugs!
Splash Back I might have posted this before. It's kind of neat.
City Smasher Play a GIANT monster trying to destroy a city.
Beliefs Very strange game. Sidescroller mostly, but it's totally weird.
Quadradius Two player elimination game.
Ownage Very nice sidescrolling shooter. Kind of like Cabal. If you remember that.
Zwok This is a weird multi-player war game where you throw things...and yeah.
Fishy Eat fish smaller than you. Get bigger. Rinse. Repeat.
Block Head Zombies Fun. Like lego-headed zombies. Lots of blood.
Campaign Weird strategy game where you try to take over the US as a presidential candidate. Fun for the whole family. Play as a Republican or Democrat. (If it had Get-Up-Licans and Get Down-O-Crats, I'd be happier).
4-Second Frenzy Like Wario Ware. Little 4 second mini-games.
Avalanche Try to climb up before the water gets you. See how high you can go.
High Speed Chase Woot! Fast car.

Text Games:
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy The original Text adventure. I played this on a C-64.
Trukz I have no idea why (or how) but this is a truck driving text adventure. Maybe my parents will like it.
Oregon Trail Again, I played this on the C-64.

Online MMO or RPG weirdness:
Rings of Orbis I have no idea what this is about.
Duels Or this, but it appears to have something to do with dueling.
Oil Empire Apparently you run some kind of Oil Empire. Probably a resource management game.
Mafia Returns Apparently, you're in the mafia.
Mafia Boss Also, mafia. La Cosa Nostra. Or whatever.
The Last Knights Fantasy.
Conquer Club No idea. Sounds neat though.
Tales of Pirates Woot! Pirates.
Carnage Blender Didn't play it. Don't know.

Sports Games:
Buzzerbeater This is some kind of basketball simulator.
PGA Golf The page looks pretty, but I didn't bother playing it.
Curveball It's like 3-D pong.
Dashabooja I'm barely qualifying this as a sport. It's supposed to be like playing 10 hands of poker at once, but it feels more like a slot machine.

Good Turkey Day

So, Thanksgiving went off well, Allison made the most excellent turkey, and we had hams and such. It was delightful.

I still didn't sort out all those gamey type things I said I was gonna. I know. I'm a slacker. That's irrelevant at the moment because...well, it's my blog, I guess cause I say so. What are you gonna do?

While you're preparing proper retribution for my not giving you games, go look at bees. Bees are cool.
Ok, fine, so bees leads to B-Movies. Oh man, that was a good segway.
I wish I had one for this. It's just food pairing.

Ok, that's it. Hope you had a good holiday.

Weekend Goodies.

I found a metric ton of links to webgames but I haven't finished compiling them yet, so that will have to wait for like Monday or something. But for now, I have some goodies for the weekend.

Check out this Squirrel playing dead.
If you're having trouble deciding between the Venison Carcass and the Elk Carcass for Thanksgiving, then...these pictures aren't going to help you.
I love this song.
The great Pizza Orientation Test.
The University of California Marching Band's tribute to Video Games. This is neat.
I find this game Infectious. (Ho ho, I'm so clever).
Free Rice. This is some kind of Vocabulary game, and when you get answers right they send free rice to hungry people. Or something. I didn't really bother reading all of it.
Paint Lines to help the ball get home. It's paintball. But not the kind you would normally think of.
